' north and the exception is the far north and west. here it will stay cooler temperatures around the mid teens. with the sunshine, strong at this time of year and the temperatures are really starting to climb up. 25 degrees is 77 fahrenheit. as we go into friday, even more sunshine is expected for many. once again, the far west, the north west, will see a little more cloud. maybe the odd spot of drizzle at times. here, the temperatures are a little suppressed, but they are going to continue to climb, of two highs of 28 celsius, 82 fahrenheit by friday, and as we head through the weekend and as we head through the weekend and into next week, we are going to see temperatures into the 30s. hot by day and by night that might get a little bit too hot for some. that's it for now. newsnight is underway on bbc two — and here on bbc one it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. but from the ten team, it's goodnight.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to to tomorrow's papers on what has been an unprecedented day with 42 ministers and advisers resigning one story as you can imagine. now with 43 ministers and reasons advisers resigning with the sacking of michael gove. in the last few minutes the welsh secretary has just redesigned which brings the total number of resignations 243 as i said. the prime minister remains defiant reportedly telling colleagues that he will not step down. the sun has a very graphic description said he won't dip his

hands in blood or they'll have to dip their hands in blood if they want him out. joining me tonight are joe twyman, director of the polling organisation deltapoll, and geri scott, political reporter at the times. welcome to you both. not a great deal of time to get through things at the moment. we've got about ten minutes. we will speed through what we've got. can we just flip through some front pages? i think you see most on the front page of the guardian, about the prime minister is desperate and deluded as they say he clings on to power. meanwhile the sun describes the prime minister as defiant but the headline you will have to dip your hands in blood to get rid of me. the metros front page, the prime minister slogan get brexit done and said they turned it into get exit done, boris the times describing isjohnson having to fight for his life was up same picture on the telegraph as well.

the telegraph saying borisjohnson has been mortally wounded. the fda describes the prime minister as being rocked by a cabinet revolt. the daily star, agony, that is the stars, borisjohnson day asking for advice on how to continue. high drama. welcome to you both. the guardian, desperate deluded pm clings to power, not sure when the picture was taken but it sums up defiance and also desperation, perhaps. i defiance and also desperation, erha 5. ~ defiance and also desperation, erha s. ~' ., , defiance and also desperation, --erhas. ~' ., , , perhaps. ithink it does. boris johnson perhaps. ithink it does. boris johnson is— perhaps. i think it does. boris johnson is digging _ perhaps. ithink it does. boris johnson is digging in, - perhaps. ithink it does. boris johnson is digging in, his - perhaps. i think it does. boris. johnson is digging in, his doctor perhaps. i think it does. boris- johnson is digging in, his doctor to johnson is digging in, his doctor to resign despite 42 or actually 43 ministers, simon hart resigning and there is cabinet ministers going into gel and time his up, he's digging in. but those who say he has to go. they do feel he is deluded

building up a leadership plan. he wants to challenge for the leadership in fact he definitely did before he was made chancellor, that is been put on hold slightly by his appointment to the role. as recently as last night they were resignation letters being prepared for the eventuality that he didn't get chance of course referred is kind of hold up in number ten, holding the pm almost a ransom for the job. you have to read a bit more in tomorrow's ties but that's the story. it seems the job of chancellor is a very good at opportunity to sit in install the kind of leader he might be. that would be extraordinary. people are drawing comparisons withjohn major who was chancellor for 13 months before eventually taking over as leader of the party. what other factors have struck you tonight in terms of those real loyal stalwarts for the prime minister apparently going in and send that time is up?

priti patel, it seems hugely unlikely considering how much support he's given her in the last couple of years. support he's given her in the last coople of years— couple of years. that's true but we've only _ couple of years. that's true but we've only had _ couple of years. that's true but we've only had three _ couple of years. that's true but i we've only had three resignations actually— we've only had three resignations actually from the cabinet so far. i think— actually from the cabinet so far. i think that's — actually from the cabinet so far. i think that's important. it the resignations are rishi sunak and sajid _ resignations are rishi sunak and sajid javid that broke this wall of unity— sajid javid that broke this wall of unity that have been surrounding the prime _ unity that have been surrounding the prime minister for all of these months — prime minister for all of these months are really started the ball rolling _ months are really started the ball rolling and added momentum to all these _ rolling and added momentum to all these other resignations that have taken _ these other resignations that have taken place. but instead of resignations we say threats of resignation, promises of resignation and wheezing cabinet ministers trying _ and wheezing cabinet ministers trying to— and wheezing cabinet ministers trying to persuade the prime minister— trying to persuade the prime minister that his time is up even if they themselves wish to stay in their— they themselves wish to stay in their position. so far none of that seems _ their position. so far none of that seems to— their position. so far none of that seems to have made a difference. the question— seems to have made a difference. the question is, _ seems to have made a difference. the question is, whether tomorrow, the day after. _ question is, whether tomorrow, the

brings it to 44. onto the telegraph. mortally wounded pm defies... look at recent history from thatcher onwards. they have been persuaded to go rather than face the humiliation, really being drummed out. i wonder, you perhaps know the prime minister better than a lot of people having followed him day in and day out, that seems extraordinarily resilient and almost on knowing or insensitive clap about what peril he is in. this was never — clap about what peril he is in. this was never going — clap about what peril he is in. try 3 was never going about be a prime minister who is going to go easily, he believes he has a mandate from 14 million people, his allies have been out on tv and radio saying it this evening that he thinks he has the right to deliver on. he does not feel like his cabinet calling should be able to oust him like this. he's

been elected by the people. of course it's not quite how works in this country, we elect mps or get sent to parliament and then party leaderfor the a lot sent to parliament and then party leader for the a lot of that election was tied up in boris johnson personal appeal, he clearly feels like it's not really up to him to resign unless it's done through that channel on the 9022 committee. onto the sun are very resilient performance in pm cues today and at the liaison committee and the sun, this is the language very boris in times of the tragedy of all, you'll have to dip your hands and blood to get rid of me. that really does sum up get rid of me. that really does sum up his old approach here. yes. up his old approach here. yes, that's right- — up his old approach here. yes, that's right. i— up his old approach here. yes, that's right. i don't _ up his old approach here. yes, that's right. i don't think - up his old approach here. yes, that's right. i don't think anyone can be _ that's right. i don't think anyone can be surprised that he is not exactly — can be surprised that he is not exactly been famous for doing the honourable thing for in many aspects of his— honourable thing for in many aspects of his life _ honourable thing for in many aspects of his life and in recent years. a

lot of— of his life and in recent years. a lot of the — of his life and in recent years. a lot of the departments don't have ministers — lot of the departments don't have ministers in place and it's going to be difficult — ministers in place and it's going to be difficult to see how boris johnson _ be difficult to see how boris johnson given how he appears to have so few— johnson given how he appears to have so few friends left will be able to replace _ so few friends left will be able to replace those positions. do so few friends left will be able to replace those positions.- replace those positions. do you auree, a replace those positions. do you agree, a government _ replace those positions. do you agree, a government can - replace those positions. do you i agree, a government can function like this? , ., ., ~' agree, a government can function like this? , ., ., , like this? just look at the housing reforms michael _ like this? just look at the housing reforms michael gove _ like this? just look at the housing reforms michael gove was - like this? just look at the housing i reforms michael gove was supposed like this? just look at the housing - reforms michael gove was supposed to bring forward. i think there was one commons minister left in the leveling up the apartment now. i think that gives you your answer. okay. joe twyman and geri scott will be back again at 11:30pm. goodbye for now. it set to return however as we move into the weekend and next week it might get a little bit too hot for some. but it's all about the high

pressure at the moment and that is going to stay with us for quite some time. we do have a few nuisance but we can can for us, not really producing that much of rain but it does mean a cloudy grey start for many on thursday morning. the differences across england and wales that cloud will melt away and eccentric come through, sunshine for eastern scotland may be just the far northwest of scotland and the north coast of northern ireland saying cloudy and a little cooler. top temperatures expecting at 25 degrees on thursday afternoon, that 77 fahrenheit warmer still as we head into the weekend and with plenty of sunshine temperatures could stay into the 30s into next week. i suspect that might get a little bit too hot for some. take care.

this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk or around the globe. i am tim willcox. our top story... borisjohnson refuses to resign despite his government collapsing and some of his closest allies deserting him up. so far, there have been more than 43 resignations. it is a record number in one day, but the prime minister responded with defiance to critics on his own side. does the prime minister think there are any circumstances in which he should resign? laughter frankly, mr speaker, the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances, when he has been handed a colossal mandate, is to keep going, and that's what i'm going to do. but the opposition leader sir keir

starmer said
